Rabbi & Mrs. Eliezer Zirkind of Crown Heights have not been notified of the passing of their son and the public is asked that it remain that way.

With great sadness and shock we inform you of the passing of Rabbi Yehoshua Shlomo Zirkind, OBM, of the Rebbe's Shluchim to Eretz Yisroel, at the age of 58. His passing comes merely three months after the equally tragic and untimely passing of his brother, Reb Yitzchok, OBM.

New York City’s Jewish Population Is Growing Again

NY Times

Along Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights. In 2002, 33 percent of city respondents identified themselves as Orthodox Jewish; in 2011, 40 percent did.

After decades of decline, the Jewish population of New York City is growing again, increasing to nearly 1.1 million, fueled by the “explosive” growth of the Hasidic and other Orthodox communities, a new study has found. It is a trend that is challenging long-held notions about the group’s cultural identity and revealing widening gaps on politics, education, wealth and religious observance.
